Am I Late? - poem by Caroline Tiss

Am I late?

I enjoy you,

I enjoy the waves which beckon me,

I call them as they call to me, like you call to me.

Late to the party too often lately,

You tell me I have always been intoxicating,

Perhaps consuming much like the swarming,

It is a subtle fear, tears bellow.

And you go on like the overture of a cello.

I stop you to say, "we feel like lovers."

I know that it's not really worth it to leap from anything deeper I have learned what I had to believe me,

But we feel like lovers,

And I know that it's selfish,

I know I am headed straight for the pit, let them eat my bones to carry on the tune,

You bright eyed alchemist, your magnificence echos to me in the chambers of memories of songs.

We feel like Lovers.

How can I hold back?

What is pride if not my honor?

The paint will fade anyway but give me a golden chance

I just know that I would break it.

She adored the wind and rain of above the oceanic world, however she could never live on land because she was not meant to. Rosamunde saw her body as accursed. She could not believe that there were men and women who walked among the trees and sandy beaches. She longed to experience life outside of her own watery world. Rosamunde was a siren of the deepest oceans. She had green skin and sharp teeth. Rosamunde had eyes whose pupils would contract and expand like a feline. She had beautiful ankle length black hair that was matted with seaweed and decorated with shells and beads. Rosamunde did not think like a human woman. She was an enchantress, she ...

Venusian Myths - Caroline Tiss

Venusian Myths Beauty is not true, Beauty is not definable, To be aware of symmetry and color is all that you need, You can bejewel the night sky as Nyx has done, and the sight is astonishing, As long as the sun and moon shall endure in perfect peace and harmony, So shall the world reflect the sentiments of tranquility, Beauty is in the wild unknown.
